I just received a group of photos taken at USCG Radio Station Guam/NRV in the early 1980s. This was when Morse code was still alive and well, along with 500 kHz CW, etc. SITOR was just beginning to get off the ground and SATCOMM was not even in the Coast Guard's vernacular (at least not on Guam!). If anyone would like copies of the photos, I'll be happy to send them. Likewise, if someone wants to post them somewhere, I'm sure that will be OK too.73s,

The transmitter will be tuned up from around 06:30 UTC, so you will get time to test your antennas and equipment during that time.There will be no activity on amateur radio frequencies with the call SK6SAQ this time.QSL-reports are kindly received:E-mail to: info@alexander.n.se - or fax to: +46-340-674195 - or via: SM bureau - or direct by mail to: Alexander - Grimeton Veteranradios Vaenner, Radiostationen, Grimeton 72 S-430 16 ROLFSTORP S W E D E N .
